In presentation mode...after I use the higlighter I can get the hyperlink
hand to appear. I had it working once and now I can't get it to work again.
Thanks!
 
When you are done with the highlighter, right click and select Pointer
Options--> Arrow. Or, if you have a keyboard, just hold down the alt key and
press the letter o followed by the letter a.

Thank you for helping me out on this one...

When I tried this suggestion the pointer comes back but my hyperlinks are
not working. Are there other keystrokes that may work? Thank You!
 
Can you provide more details on what isn't working? Do you see the hand when
you move it over a hyperlink? If you click, what happens? Are the links to
other PPT presentations or to web pages? And, if they are to web pages, are
you sure that the pages aren't showing up behind your presentation?

(Lots of questions, I know. But the more you tell us, the better we all can
help.)

Well my hyperlinks are to other slides in the presentation. I start out my
slideshow with slide one which is the main menu. The hand appears as I go
over each hyperlink. I will activate a hyperlink and go to the slide. Then
I hyperlink back to the main slide. I highlight or use the marker on the
main page. I then try to hyperlink to another slide but the hand doe not
appear. Basically I am hyperlinking to one slide...hyperlinking back to the
main slide...wanting to cross something off the main page...then do it again.
I had it working! Thanks a bunch for your help!
 
Hmmm...

Two more questions...
Do the hyperlinks work when you don't go use the highlighter first? If not,
you might be running into this:
Lost hyperlinks, hyperlinks link to wrong place, hyperlinks stop working

Are you running on a Tablet PC by chance?
